What are the points to be followed to draw a cladogram?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Phylogenetic system of classification takes into account ancestral characters (traits of basic body design which would be in the entire ground and derived characters (traits  whose structure and functions differ from those of ancestral characters). One or more derived characters  appeared during evolution resulted in the formation of new subspecies. In a cladogram evolutionary step produces a branching and all the members of the branch would possess the derived character which will not be seen in organisms below the particular branch point. Arranging organisms on the basis of their similar or derived characters which differ from the ancestral characters produced a phylogenetic tree or cladogram.
